List Of Accredited Nursing Schools In Kenya. The Nursing Council of Kenya is the accreditation authority responsible for accrediting programmes of study for the nursing and midwifery professions. To date, the Council has approved 121 nursing/midwifery training institutions to train students at degree, basic and post basic diploma level for various branches of nursing & midwifery practice.
It is imperative that students make sure that the institution where they will be trained is approved by the Council AND that the training programme (course) is also accredited by the Council. If either is NOT APPROVED, the Nursing Council of Kenya will not recognize any of the training the student has received. This means that the learner will not be able to practice in Kenya (or elsewhere) after completing the training. The education and training regulations (available on this website) give minimum entry requirements for each nursing/midwifery training programmes.
It is a requirement that all training institutions undergo the accreditation process. Accreditation is a review process that evaluates nursing training programs. It is based on best practices and established quality standards. It ensures that nursing and midwifery programs meet or exceed a variety of standards. This process is necessary to ensure students receive the quality education for their professional field.
The Nursing Council of Kenya handles complaints or reports received about illegal institutions and/or illegal programmes operating in Kenya. Under the Nurses Act it is a criminal offence for someone to operate such an institution or to offer such a programme.
If you are aware of any institution that you think may be operating illegally or providing an illegal programme, Please share the information with us via our email, info@nckenya.org
